The end of the year is upon us! For the third year in a row, I'll be celebrating New Year's Eve, my birthday, with a marathon stream of one of my very favorite games, start to finish in one sitting. And I invite you all to join me, in my living room or on Twitch, for as long as you like! Conversing with y'all keeps me energized, and makes the stream more interesting, to boot.
I must be a fool or a masochist, because this year, I picked Final Fantasy VI. While I love the game and know it very well, it's longer than my previous marathon games by a good bit. As such, I'm relaxing my "no help" rule from the last two years, and am writing up some super-condensed notes to help me plan the whole thing out, and perhaps reach the end before 30 hours have passed.
For those who are curious or care about such things, I'll be playing the SNES version with the latest version of the TWU patch. Woolsey's original translation is kind of incredible for having been done in three months, but under such tight deadlines, there were, of course, things that slipped through. This version is still primarily based on that script, but gone over using the GBA version and Lina Darkstar's translation notes as reference. I'm excited to try this version because a few years ago, I attempted to undertake this very thing, myself. I got maybe halfway through my first draft, had to put the project on hold for a little while, and when I came back to it, I discovered that someone else had done it already. I hope it lives up to my expectations!
The party begins on Sunday, December 31st at 3pm ET, and will continue well into New Year's Day. Won't you join us?
